Sri Lanka beat South Africa by three wickets in the second Twenty20 international on Sunday.
Left-arm wrist-spinner Lakshan Sandakan bamboozled South Africa’s batsmen as Sri Lanka made a strong start in the match.
The diminutive Sandakan took four for 23 as South Africa were bowled out for 113 in 19.3 overs.
Making his T20 international debut — although he has played in three Test matches and a one-day international — Sandakan confused the batsmen with his ability to turn the ball both ways on an unusually dry and slow Wanderers Stadium pitch.
Seamers Isuru Udana and Nuwan Kulasekera took three for 13 and two for 10 respectively.
Sandakan took a wicket with his first ball, although it was a rank long hop which would have been called wide if Mangaliso Mosehle had not stretched to edge it to wicketkeeper Dinesh Chandimal.
He had top scorer Heino Kuhn smartly stumped by Chandimal for 29 and then dismissed left-handers Wayne Parnell and Andile Phehlukwayo, both trying to reverse-sweep him, in the space of three balls.
At that stage South Africa were 74 for seven after 12 overs.
Captain Farhaan Behardien and Aaron Phangiso added 33 for the eighth wicket to give the total some respectability for the hosts.
